Rejected petition Persuade the local council to increase the funding for mental health in schools.

We have created this petition because of the lack of mental health support for young people, we think that the funding is too low and it is unable to help all the people who are suffering.

More details

1 in 6 people under the age of 16 will have a mental health problem. The number of people with a mental health issue is increasing, while the funding from the government is decreasing. Since 2010 the government have reduced mental health support by £20 million.
